Ensuring the Safety of Your Data
Disposing of old equipment doesn’t have to mean disposing of your data security.
We provide data destruction services for businesses and organisations throughout Perth on request.
Data erasure: Secure software-based data erasure is available for suitable data-bearing equipment.
Physical destruction: Hard drives, SSDs and other suitable digital media are physically destroyed using our commercial industrial shredding equipment as a separate paid service.
Mobile devices: Data erasure is not provided for mobile phones or tablets. Customers are responsible for factory resetting mobile devices before collection. Physical destruction is available for mobile phones where the battery has been removed. Tablets are accepted for recycling but are not available for physical destruction.
Need physical destruction?
We offer commercial hard drive and digital media shredding using an INFOSTOP IS13120HSV industrial shredder.
Serial numbers are recorded before destruction, and a Certificate of Data Destruction is provided as part of the service.
The shredding process is video validated by the shredder’s internal camera system, providing an additional record of the destruction process.
Asset Tracking & Documentation
Asset disposal records are available on request and may include:
- Equipment description
